Manchester City took a big win at the expense of their neighbors Manchester United in the Manchester City EFL derby, so how was the refereeing performance of English international referee Michael Oliver at this summit and was it at the level of the event? In fact, three cases that prove that he lived up to expectations and responsibilities, we will present and explain them from a legal point of view:

* First case: Haaland scored for City in the 66th minute and was in a good position.

Explanation of the situation: The second assistant referee calculated the goal and calculated his high concentration, because at the moment of passing the ball, Gomez was at a different level, the second defender from United, and the ball was fast, but the second assistant referee with high concentration and special attention decided to allow the game to continue and calculate the correct solution without the need for the intervention of video technology only to confirm the correctness of the goal.

* Case two: In the 75th minute, Foden scored the fifth goal for Manchester City, the second assistant referee confirmed the correctness of the goal and the correctness of his decision.

Explanation of the situation: Foden was exactly in line with the last second of the United defender, but before the goal was confirmed, video equipment intervened to ensure that the ball did not leave the touchline in its entirety at the beginning of the attack, and this was confirmed by the video referee, who recognized the correct goal , which means that he supported the decision of the first assistant referee, who correctly followed the ball.

* Third case: The referee awarded a penalty in the 90th minute in favor of United after a clash between City defender Cancelo and United striker Martial, and his decision was correct.

Explanation of the situation: Canciol hit the opponent’s leg and did not aim for the ball. The referee was close to the situation and had the right angle of view, which made him rush to make the right decision and award a flawless penalty for United.
